The first NCEA Coaches Poll of the spring season was released Wednesday and, as predicated, there was quite a shake up at the top. The Georgia Bulldogs have jumped Auburn University to reclaim the No.1 Ranking, and Oklahoma State has broken the SEC’s stronghold on the top three spots. The Cowgirls convincing win over Texas A&M on Saturday helped them move to No.3.

Big Twelve teams Kansas State and Baylor each moved up one position to No.5 and No.6 respectively, while South Carolina dropped from No.1  to No.4 and Texas A&M dropped into a tie with Baylor at No.6.

The next NCEA Coaches Poll is scheduled to be released in two weeks, on February 20th, at 12pm ET.
